Slipping and sliding......

After a night of wet snow the road was frozen to a kind of choppy ice-rink. We set off gingerly to walk to the van, which due to the snow forecast we had parked more off the road than usual, allowing the plough to get past.

{Not good for driving - or walking!}

I had had to put on my microspikes and John's new 'stabilicers lite' were getting their first outing! Both enabled us to make a safe passage across the ice. Then, as we backed onto the road in the van we hoped the neighbour (Sylvie) wasn't going to appear round the corner - of course, she did! However, all was 'cool' and we were invited to her birthday 'soiree' in the evening!


{White roads all the way to Molines}

We had a good time skiing at Molines/St.Veran where they have installed a new chairlift replacing two rather ancient drag lifts. The new lift has one of those 'magic carpet' starts which is rather alarming especially as the chair comes quickly at your legs and knocks them away forcing you to sit down! I have a bruise to prove it!

One of the downsides of the chaotic leaving of the house had been that I had somehow forgotten the sandwich bag - so it would have to be lunch out again!

'Sorry, the pizza's off' meant another plate of chips for me - it's a hard life!

{Chips - again!}

We are distinctly lacking in any kind of cold white stuff, but we have plenty of cold wet stuff!! Chips, what a hardship.

I maybe (maybe) could get fed up with chips.....we've been having the cold, wet, windy and white stuff all day today - no fun at all. (And no chips either!)

Hi QDanT - Interesting post - and not just the Crinkle Cuts - never seen those here-abouts - the French normally prefer the skinny ones (chips that is)....
